Nissan's Sunderland UK plant has undergone $2.5 billion in upgrades to support the Leaf and other future EV production.
The Nissan Leaf is still on sale, somehow. We’ve driven one and reviewed it, it’s not a bad car, but incredibly outmoded, offering DC fast charging in the outdated CHAdeMO and an air-cooled battery in a liquid-cooled, soon-to-be Tesla NACS-driven world. But the Leaf brand is a good one, so Nissan is finally readying up a replacement. Now, a source claims that the next Nissan Leaf could enter production as soon as March 2025.
A British-made Leaf would be ineligible for these incentives. However, that may be a moot point in the first place since Nissan says that the Leaf’s production is exiting the U.S. entirely, with all models to be made in either Japan or allegedly the UK. Meanwhile, Nissan is said to be pushing back its new generation of U.S.-built electric sedans for a few years, both as the EV market cools a bit and to focus on hotter-selling electric SUVs instead.
